Kentucky-inspired snack mix with bourbon, bacon, and pecans elevates classic Chex Mix.
Ingredients:
  • 1 bag (15 oz) Chex Mix® traditional snack mix
  • 1 cup pecan halves
  • 1/2 lb bacon (6 to 8 slices), crisply cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 3/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 300°F and line two 15x10x1-inch pans with foil, then spray with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine snack mix, pecans, and bacon. Set aside.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan, warm brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until bubbly around the edges. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, then remove from heat. Let it cool for 2 minutes. Gently mix in bourbon and chipotle chili powder. Pour over snack mixture and toss until fully coated.
  • Spread the snack mixture evenly on baking pans. Bake for 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to create a delicious caramelized texture. Allow to cool completely for about 1 hour. Break into pieces and store covered in the refrigerator.
